Orgyen Chowang Rinpoche, author of Our Pristine Mind: A Practical Guide to Unconditional Happiness, will lead a Guided Meditation and Book Reading at East West Bookshop Seattle in Seattle, Washington.

In Our Pristine Mind, a Tibetan Buddhist master shows us how to go beyond mindfulness with meditation and journey deep into ultimate happiness, transforming every area of our lives.

Orgyen Chowang empowers us to gradually experience our mind as pure awareness–free from the feelings, thoughts, and other mental events that obscure its true nature. Using simple language, he provides precise, experiential instructions that make this life-transforming realization attainable for all, whether we are just seeking a happier life or are pursuing the spiritual journey all the way to enlightenment.

Orgyen Chowang Rinpoche, a meditation master in the Nyingma lineage of the Buddhist tradition, has a passion for presenting teachings in a practical and experiential way for modern audiences. His primary teacher was Jigme Phuntsok Rinpoche, one of the greatest Dzogchen masters of the last century. A long-time resident of the San Francisco Bay Area, Orgyen Chowang Rinpoche is the founder and spiritual director of Pristine Mind Foundation.
